Best Girls Fashion Collection | Junior Design Awards 2018

WINNER: PLATINUM FOR BEST GIRLS FASHION COLLECTION

WHO: OUTSIDE THE LINES

WHAT: A stunning collection of high-end, high street clothes with a relaxed bohemian feel, designed for girls from 3-13.

WHY: The attention to detail from their pom pom adorned hangers to their signature embroidery and fresh use of colour meant that this range leapt off the rail and the cry "Oh I would wear that!" was heard over and over again. Judges were impressed that the collection spanned such a large age range so successfully and there was particular lust for the heavily embroidered playsuits and frilled lace shorts. Judge Lisa Mehydene, founder of Edit 58 said "Such a brilliant brand - clothes that girls and parents alike love. The designs are modern with a whimsical twist. The fabrics are brilliant (they wash really well!) and they are built to last, whilst looking pretty." And top children's wear stylist Yvadney Davis simply said "Exquisite."

WHO: BELLE ENFANT

WHAT: A luxury fashion brand with a refreshingly pared back, understated aesthetic and a commitment to the highest quality fabrics and finishes. Designed for children aged 0-4

WHY: Our judges loved the simple lines, subtle colours and delicate prints offered by Belle Enfant. The brand's bi-annual collections are perfect for creating the foundation for a myriad of outfits that can be styled up or down and have the feel of heirloom pieces that can be handed down for years without dating or suffering from wear and tear. Judge Diana Bardega of The Mamahood said "I want it all in my size!" while Junior Editor Bonita Turner commented "These are just the kind of clothes I love for my daughter. The quality really stands out and lots of the pieces would easily cross over to winter with tights or long socks "
